Toronto Aadheenam, inaugurated by H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda on July 2011, is blessed to radiate the superconscious energy of Kailasa - the abode of Lord Shiva with all His energies. The temple deities are seated exactly as they existentially preside in Kailasa around Mahadeva Himself.
Tirunavukkarasar, the chief poet saint devoted to Mahadev, on being blessed with the darshan (vision) of Mahadev and Paravati at Kailasa, sings his vision in the 4ᵗʰ Tirumurai. The temple will have the same scene of Kailasa in the garbha griha (sanctum).

The energy and experience of Sri Kalahasti Shiva at Houston
The upcoming Houston temple will be inaugurated for public worship in a grand way with 19 deities - 13 granite and 6 marble deities and navagrahas (9 planets).
All the deities are life size and devotees will walk close to the deities to pray and connect with the Divine, having "up close and personal" experiences. The huge deities and intense energy of H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda will allow devotees to experience peace and bliss within.
Houston temple will be fully constructed based on Agama Shastras - the sacred scriptures by Mahadev.
The main presiding deity is an exact replica of the 7-foot Sri Kalahasti Linga, in South India, radiating the 'vayu' or wind energy of Lord Shiva.
